Self-made successful businessmen are generally well-read people.Steve JobsSteve Jobs, who died in 2011, is one of the most important American minds of our time. He was influenced by many books, but Be Here Now by Ram Dass was one of the greatest. Jobs reportedly said of the book, “It changed me and many of my friends for a better life.”Jeff BezosAmazon CEO Jeff Bezos says he learns more from The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. “If you read The Remains of the Day, which is one of my favorite books, you cant help but think. I learned something about life and about regret,” Bezos told Newsweek.Mark ZuckerbergThis self-made successful businessman sees Henry Kissingers World Order as most helpful in how he deals with business life, and even parenting. “Its about foreign relations and how we can build peaceful relationships throughout the world,” Zuckerberg wrote for his book club, A Year of Books, on Facebook. “This is important for creating the world we all want for our children, and thats what Im thinking about these days.”Bill GatesNot only is Factfulness by Hans Rosling one of Bill Gates favorite books, but he also says its one of the most important he has ever read. “It explains more clearly than almost anything else Ive read why its so difficult for people to understand progress,” Gates said in an interview with Time.21. Who is greatly influenced by The Remains of the Day?A. Steve Jobs. B. Jeff Bezos. C. Mark Zuckerberg. D. Bill Gates.22. What is Zuckerbergs favorite book mainly about?A. Foreign relations.B. Facebooks system.C. Peoples progress.D. Life regret.23. What is the best title for the text?A. Best Selling Books This YearB. Ways to Become SuccessfulC. Books Favoured by Self-madeD. Advice from the Self-madeBPeople often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. Ill share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.One thing I can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when youre riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, Id try to hang out with friends who couldnt speak Chinese, so that Id have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way youre writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.24. How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?A. A week. B. A Month. C. A term.D. A year.25. What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?A. Reading English books.B. Thinking in English.C. Watching English films.D. Learning English grammar.26. Where did the author improve his English quickly?A. In America. B. In China. C. In the university. D. In the middle school.27. What is the best title for the text?A. My University LifeB. American EnglishC. My English Learning ExperienceD. The Importance of Learning EnglishCIn recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about "the brain drain (人才流失) ," which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment. For example, according to a report from U.N., between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian (伊朗的) scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30percent of Chilean (智利的) engineers and 15 percent of Turkish (土耳其的)physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign-born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.28. Which of the following is not the reason for "the brain drain"?A. Better chances of study.B. Better research condition.C. Good job possibility.D. Good housing.29. How many American doctors are foreign-born?A. More than 20 percent.B. About half of them.C. Several thousand.D. About 15 percent.30. Which is the best title for this passage?A. How to seek a job in the USA.B. Doctors immigration to the USA.C. The brain drain.D. A strange case.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Holiday season is drawing near. Choosing presents for your friends or loved ones is a hard nut to crack. _31_Dont try to price-match.The first thing you should do when planning your gift list is to create a budget (预算) of how much youre willing to spend and stick to it, even if you receive a more expensive gift from someone else. “A void matching spending, because thats when gift-giving is driven more by pressure than by thoughtfulness,” says Sharon Schweitzer, an international etiquette (礼节) expert and founder of Protocol Etiquette Worldwide. After all, loved ones dropping a lot of money on expensive gifts could probably afford expensive items on their own and arent looking for you to return the favor. _32_Dont give just because you did in the past.When youre figuring out whom to give to keep in mind your list might not have all the same people as last years. “You have to review it every year because you have relationships with different people, so you have to look at how those relationships have grown and developed,” says Schweitzer. _33_ Even if youve exchanged gifts in the past, dont feel you should give presents to friends who you havent kept in touch with much this year. Send a holiday card instead to show youre thinking of them.Be honest if you dont have a gift.If someone surprises you with a present you werent expecting, be honest that you dont have one to give in return. _34_ “Say youre touched and delighted and a little embarrassed you dont have anything for them.” says Schweitzer. Dont try to think up a gift on the spot by taking something out of your closet suddenly, because the other person will likely know exactly what youre doing._35_With the exception of family members or best friends, never ask people what they want for a present. “That makes people very uncomfortable, and they feel they ought to get you something in return,” says Schweitzer. Gift requests leave little creativity to the giver, so come up with your own ideas for a more thoughtful present.A. Never ask for a wish list.B. People come in and out of your life.C. Have creative ideas when you choose gifts.D. The best way to deal with that is to be honest and sincere.E. Here are pieces of gift-giving etiquette you need this holiday season.F. Expensive gifts are sometimes thoughtful items your friends selected.G. Find a thoughtful gift instead, like a frame with an old favorite photo.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。As a teacher, my daily activity includes driving to a new school almost every day.On one particular day, I was teaching in a very _36_ classroom.
